    Why on earth did they choose Andy Brayshaw for an interview straight after the siren? He has a huge gash in his head and blood was running down the side of his face. There’s literally 22 other players they could interview.

    Agree. Stupidity. Blood pouring down his face from a massive cut on his head. Terrible TV. All we could say was how ridiculous it was.

    I saw him described somewhere as a generational talent DJ. I'm not seeing it, not in Tests.

    A bit of humility would’ve been nice. Instead, he bolted out of the gates, the swashbuckling opener, and was his own biggest fan. His current run of failure might serve as a deflating of his big head.

    And the commentators praising him for being so tough was also idiotic. Not a good message for kids who play footy.

    He's a New South Welshman. Will certainly get a better run at it than the Renshaw's of this world

    Just now, whatwhat say what said:

    konstas is a kid

    surprised by yr attitude towards him @Ghostwriter given yr fervent defense of the mfc kids

    he's played four tests; plenty of time to grow into the role

    I’ve not met a single MFC kid who is cocky and ahead of himself like Konstas is, not even close.

    I don’t doubt he’ll become a great batsman but he needs to remember he’s not there yet.

    He absolutely lost me when he told Jasprit to “get back to your mark!” That’s disrespectful to say the least. Says a lot about him character-wise.

    unnecesarily harsh

    players on ground say all sorts of rubbish; there's many stories about the dees circa 2015-19 being VERY lippy

    they won't be the first, nor the last

    We let warner go on 1 summer to late. Should never have let him dictate when he got to retire. We needed to settle on an opening pair ages ago.

    Mind you usman isn't going much better

    So the tigs are 1 win behind us.

    Compare their list to ours and that’s pathetic but probs sums up our season and where we r at unfortunately.

    I’m absolutely scratching my head that they’re only one win behind us.

    Admittedly, Essendon have such a lengthy injury list that it’s now an automatic 4 points when you play Essendon till the end of the season.

    i live in thanks that we won't lose to them twice in a season, as playing an injury-ravaged peptides is exactly the sort of game where we kick 7.21 to lose by 3 or so goals

    What’s with the media making excuses for Essendon?

    This was their spine against Richmond:

    B: Laverde, Ridley, Redmond

    Mid: Merrett, Duursma, Durham, Tsatas

    Forward: Wright, Kako, Caddy

    On top of Setterfield, Prior, McGrath and Clarke.

    Still enough quality there to beat Richmond.

    Injuries are a reason, never an excuse. Dogs and GWS have done extremely well in face of personnel and injury concerns.

    would be a perfect end to the weekend to see port lose at home to the eagles, also we play these mugs in a few weeks without jack graham

    Swans season alive according to Derwayne. They’re three games and percentage out of the 8 with four games to play.

    “Mathematically possible”, I guess. Them winning 4 on the trot and neither Bulldogs or Freo winning again seems fairly long odds.

    Edit: it can be any two of Freo, Bulldogs, Hawthorn, Suns, GWS or Geelong to have to lose 4 on the trot, as well as Sydney going WWWW. Anyway, not happening.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
